After Feng Xi went crazy along the way, the originally uproarious incident of Feng Xi being angry and thanking the old prince was quickly replaced by the slovenliness of the protector princess.
This is a princess of a country...
Not to mention princesses, just those noble ladies from aristocratic families, businessmen and ladies. Which one is not a character who is so arrogant that the people either kneel down or dodge when they see her?
But this Princess Protector is different. You can really communicate with her, whether she is a merchant, a scholar, a hawker...
Even if you are a beggar, she will still talk to you.
Moreover, this bold old beggar also received a reward of ten taels of silver!
Even though this crazy princess talks so eloquently and doesn’t treat everyone as outsiders at all, sometimes they feel frightened when she hears her, but this doesn’t stop them from thinking that she is a good person.
As the princess herself said:
What's wrong with madness?
Have you eaten your food?
Just, why is it so crazy and cute...
And for such a princess who, apart from stealing her nephew's sweethearts, always gives things to others, can she really anger an old man for no reason?
I met Feng Xi today and everyone I talked to said it was unlikely.
Soon a new wave of messages confirmed their suspicions, among which the downtrodden Yu family and the Xie family's third bedroom were particularly prominent, making the crowd sneer at them.
"The princess who harms others wants to be accommodating to others. How can there be such truth in this world?"
"No, I think this old man is either angry with himself, or he is angry with those unworthy descendants. This matter cannot be dealt with by the princess! I won't be accommodating!"
"Although filial piety is the first of all virtues, foolish filial piety is harmful to others and yourself! Besides, the princess has severed ties with the Xie family, so what is written in the imperial edict is clear!"
"Even so, I don't know who is so vicious as to wantonly frame the princess!"
…
While the public opinion on the street was once again reversed, Ning Guogong's mansion did not calm down because of the fall of old Duke Xie.
It's just that this time the target of these people's help is no longer Mr. Xie, but Xie Bin, the Minister of Punishment who is second only to Mr. Xie in the Xie family.
"Everyone, this Chunwei fraud case is of great importance. The period from conviction to execution can take anywhere from one month to half a year. Why are you so anxious?"
Xie Bin slapped the table with an ugly expression, trying hard to persuade the Su and Yu families that they needed to consider this matter in the long term.
During this period, he had cast a cold eye on his incompetent third brother more than once, blaming him for being too trouble-making.
And Xie Lian also knew that he was shameless. While he hated Feng Xi for playing a trick on him to make him lose his position as the Minister of Dali Temple, he was also angry at his mother and wife for being careless.
Of course, he was also thinking that he was the only son of his old man and the legitimate heir to the Duke's palace. Why could his eldest brother take over the throne as soon as he came back?
He can't catch up to his eldest brother, he can't suppress Feng Xi, he can't save his father-in-law and brother-in-law...
Is he going to be such a useless person?
The more Xie Lian thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more he felt that he had to do something to restore his reputation and regain his dominant position in the family.
At this moment, a young man quietly came to report that Qi Yu, the young master of the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion, was at the concierge and said he had a plan to offer to his uncle.
"Do you really mean what you say?"
In the study, Xie Lian looked at Qi Yu with some surprise. He really didn't expect that the Qi family father and son were so interesting that they could bring him such shocking news at this time.
Indeed, were his father-in-law and brother-in-law the only ones caught by Feng Xi?
No, there is also the prince's brother-in-law and the fourth prince's third uncle.
He can leave his two relatives alone, but that means he is incapable of taking care of them and can't save people.
But the prince is different from the fourth prince. If they don't save their relatives, everyone under them will be in danger.
The more Xie Lian thought about it, the more he realized that this was the case. Qi Yu also struck while the iron was hot:
"Uncle Xie Shi, my father got this news with great difficulty from the Fang family. Didn't I know that you were anxious, so I hurriedly sent it to you?"
Qi Yu lifted his leg that Feng Xi had broken before, with sadness in his eyes.
Obviously, he was telling Xie Lian that if this matter had not been of great importance, he would never drag his injured leg out.
Seeing Qi Yu's behavior and the way they attacked Feng Xi with the same hatred, Xie Lian couldn't help but believe it a little more.
"Okay, Uncle Shi knows. Uncle Shi will write a letter to my father-in-law and brother-in-law, asking them to cooperate with the prince and the fourth prince tonight. After they are rescued, my Xie family will also follow the prince and the fourth prince. The fourth prince generally accuses her, Feng Xi, of murdering people!"
Xie Lian quickly found paper and pen and wrote two letters to Su Guang and Yu Quande.
Qi Yu didn't stop at Xie's house, and left the Duke's Mansion after getting the letter.
It is true that he did not deceive Xie Lian. He was running for the prince this time.
But this is not for his own good...
But in order to completely tie Ning Guo Gongfu, who had already broken up with Feng Xi, to the big ship of the prince's lineage.
As long as they have this letter and the two rescued hostages Su Guang and Yu Quande in hand, they won't be afraid that they won't be able to control Xie Lian.
As long as we can control Xie Lian and kidnap him to do some shady things, implicating Duke Ning's government, we won't be afraid that old Duke Xie won't throw his weight behind him.
Feng Xi didn't want someone like the Xie family to help her, but Sheng Jing had so many people who wanted her.
"Let's go to Laifeng Tower."
Putting the letter in his arms, a sinister smile appeared on Qi Yu's face.
He has always remembered the pain of his broken leg that day to Qi Xiao and Feng Xi.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that when these two men fell, he could break their legs and let them taste the extreme humiliation!
"Our prince's appetite is really big. He wants to get Shen Ge back and continue to win over the Shen family. It's not enough. He actually asked Qi Yu to inform the Xie family..."
At the dinner table, Sun Qingzhi looked ugly after receiving the news.
Think about how humble the uncle and his family were when the Qi family was still in Hanyuguan?
Not to mention making small moves against Qi Shuai's family behind the scenes, even when meeting other generals in Hanyuguan, they were polite.
As for Qi Yu...
Can she say that she has only met him three times in total, and every time Qi Yu nodded and bowed to Qi Hong in every possible way?
It's good now that there are no tigers or monkeys as overlords in the mountains. The head of the Qi family has made it clear that he wants to help the prince's lineage against the princess's house. But what about back then?
How involved were they in the original disaster of the Qi family?
Was it also the prince's lineage that took the lead in that matter?
Seemingly sensing Sun Qingzhi's thoughts, Qi Xiao finally stopped feeding Feng Xi with chopsticks and said in an unprecedentedly cold tone:
"Qi Su and his son must be related to what happened back then, but whether they are working for the prince or just for the prince, we have to find a way to get a clue from this incident."
